Amy Winehouse.RIP
True she had a derivitive, stylized voice but she could.carry a.tune...became a hardcore junkie which is en vogue in certain circles like london...she seemed like a trendy, posuer type you encounter in any big city 
worse entertainer or performer of all time??
Shania twain...and any other new country artist that sounds like a jane fonda workout video...although shania videos minus audio can be entertaining...
